Fourth of 18 at Cheltenham in October 2024 and he's now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has run just once since, when tailed off at 33-1 at Leicester last month; needs to prove how much ability he retains.

Readily won conditional jockeys' race here (2m4f, good) when back under rules for this month's stable debut; had to settle for fourth off same mark at Worcester (2m4f, good) a few days later and 6lb rise has now kicked in but he could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this sort of trip.
